Key conventions#

The GetKey functions queries keyboard keys using a specific convention, or the KeyCode enum.

Resolution#

Use the correct function#

If you are trying to query a key set in the Input Manager, then you should be using the GetButton Input functions. These axes are not accessible through the GetKey functions.

Switch to KeyCode#

It is much easier to use the input function overloads that take a KeyCode. Keycodes are autocompleted by your IDE¹, so they don't require documentation to use.

Use the correct key convention#

If you're not okay with switching to KeyCode, see the mapping virtual axes to controls section for the correct naming conventions of keys.

Capitalisation is important. Uppercase keys will be unknown.
